Werkself are keen to make a fresh start as they return to league action against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/VfL-Wolfsburg-c40881 after the humiliating defeat to Barcelona in the UEFA Champions League.
Robin Dutt’s side lost to Barcelona 7-1 in the second-leg of their UEFA Champions League knock-out stage. Despite enjoying recent success in the league, Leverkusen were unable to carry the same momentum at the European stage as
they
Werkself will travel to Wolfsburg on Saturday, March 10, in a bid to get back to winning ways.
Stefan Kiessling expressed his disappointment after being dumped out of the Champions League by the reigning European champions. He mentioned that the club had high ambitions prior to going into the game but nothing came good against
a resilient Barca attack.
The striker stated that Bayer would need to forget about this drubbing and concentrate on the upcoming fixture against Die Wolfe. He opined that a win at the weekend will be a pleasant outcome both for the players and the fans.
While talking to official Bundesliga website, Bundesliga.de, the attacker further added:
"We're all extremely disappointed, because we had imagined it going a lot differently. Considering our performances in the last few weeks it didn't have to be played out this way. We've got to brush ourselves off and put it behind
us."
On the other hand, Kiessling’s teammate, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Daniel-Schwaab-c10067 also showed his displeasure at the recent loss to the Catalan giants. The player claimed that his side was unable to hold on to possession which put added pressure on the
team. He insisted that it is understandable to lose at Barcelona but is confident of a win at the Volkswagen Arena.
"In the first half we held our own reasonably well and sought out our own chances. However we were brutally punished every time we conceded possession. Our momentum came to an abrupt halt in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604, but why shouldn't we be confident
of building on recent wins in the Bundesliga?" Schwaab concluded.
Leverkusen are currently fifth in the Bundesliga with 40 points, four points adrift of Schalke, who are at the fourth spot.
